"Not Criminal Conspiracy, Plain Murder": Himanta Sarma On Zubeen Garg's Death

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said singer Zubeen Garg's death was not an "accident" but a "murder". The 52-year-old singer-composer died under mysterious circumstances while swimming in a sea in Singapore on September 19.

"After a preliminary probe, the Assam Police was sure that it was not a case of culpable homicide, but it was a plain and simple murder," Sarma said while speaking in the Assam Assembly during an adjournment motion moved by the opposition to discuss the death of the singer.

"One of the accused killed Garg, and others helped him. Four to five people are being booked in the murder case," Sarma claimed.
